Hear the 2008 Earworm List!

While joking around with friends on New Year’s Eve, a couple of people noted they had NO familiarity whatsoever with most of the artists whose music I loved in 2008.  It occurs to me that, as a webgeek, I have the technology to fix this problem.

Here’s how to get a taste of the music I loved in 2008.  Make sure you’re logged in to domesticat.net — hey, openID works, you don’t even need a special login for cat.net — and on this page and the front page, check the sidebar for a link.  I don’t want to post the link publicly for search crawlers to find, and right now I don’t have audio modules set up on cat.net.

(Note to self: look into that.)  http://domesticat.net/listen

Take a listen. Maybe you’ll find something you love. If you do, buy the merch, see a show, put your money where your ears are. Geof can attest to how purchases speak volumes for independent artists.

Update:

Vacation days are glorious!  Sure enough, the swftools module made it possible for me to embed music.  It’s not as compact as I’d like, but it works until I can figure out how to present it more cleanly.  Moving the file under drupal’s control means I’m able to use drupal’s access-control system, which pleases me AND pacifies The Marital Siteadmin.
